Accessibility Statement

Fredon Township is committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.

2.2 AA is our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content usable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.

Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features, and remediate any accessibility issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Testing of our website is performed by our team members using industry-standard tools, color contrast analyzers, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and readability tests.

Where we are Improving

In our efforts to bring our website up to standard, we are targeting the following areas:

• Proper heading structure. Webpages will use proper heading structure to ensure visitors who use their keyboards for navigation will be able to navigate our website.

• Online forms. We are in the process of converting scans of forms into true online forms whenever possible. If an online form is not possible, we will rewrite the form and post it as a fillable PDF.

• Providing alternate text for images.

• Flyers and infographics will have accompanying text to ensure that the information displayed in the image is available to everyone.

• Check colors for sufficient contrast. Avoid using color for meaning.

• Review older content for accessibility issues and remediate to current accessibility standards.

• Text is left-justified—not center-justified or fully-justified—to improve readability.

• We use clear, simple fonts and at a larger size to improve readability.

• Avoid large blocks of text that are all upper case, and excessive use of bold and italics to improve readability.

• Future. If in the future we include video or recordings on our site, we will include closed captioning/transcripts.

This is part of our broader effort to make everyone’s experience at the Fredon Township website a welcoming and enjoyable one. Please note that while we make every effort to provide information accessible for all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third party websites to which we may link.
